$145 USD Offers ConsideredHertwig German Glazed Porcelain China Head Doll with Bawo & Dotter Trademark
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Germany:Porcelain:Hertwig & Co
This 17 inch tall china head doll, circa the 1880s, has blonde molded hair and blue eyes. She retains her original china arms and legs but, I believe the body has been replaced at some time in the past. The head is in good condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs except for a small surface chip at the lower left corner of her shoulder plate and tiny roughness to the tip of her nose. The right hand has a small chip on the thumb. The brown painted heeled shoes have inherent mold flaws on the ...
$1,850 USDEarly German Porcelain (China) Shoulder Head Doll with Molded Snood and Ribbon Hair Adornment
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany
This 11 inch tall German porcelain head doll, circa the 1860s, is simply breathtaking. She is an early thick paste pressed head doll with cloth body and wooden lower arms and legs. She wears a lovely silk dress that, I believe, is probably original to her. The silk of the dress is starting to melt and is far too frail to remove from the doll. She also wears an antique cotton petticoat and pantaloons. The modeling, painting, and hair style of this doll are rare and fantastic. She has a molded ...
$1,175 USD Offers ConsideredAlt, Beck, & Gottschalck German Glazed Porcelain China Spill Curl Curly Top Doll
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Germany:Porcelain:Alt, Beck, & Gottschalck
This 21 inch tall doll has a 6 ½ inch china head, circa the 1870s, with a beautifully molded spill curl hair style and exposed ears. She also has painted features and a slight smile. Her hair is deeply modeled with a black molded headband and some lovely brushstrokes around the face. She has leather arms, a cloth body, and sewn on red leather boots. The body, including the leather shoes and arms, is antique but the small upper arm area, I believe, has been replaced at a later date. Someone has ...

Dolls:Antique:China, German:Germany:Porcelain:Kister
This large 27 inch tall doll has a beautiful china head created in Germany by the Kister firm in the 1850s. Her perfect head is an impressive 6 ¼ inches tall. She has black painted hair in a covered wagon style. She retains her original china arms with lovely well delineated fingers. As you can see from the photos, the tips of three of the fingers on the right hand are chipped and there is a hairline crack down that arm. She has older replaced well made body that is quite appropriate for the ...
$495 USD SaleSALE Large German Badekinder China (Porcelain) Bathing Doll
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Bathing Doll, Badekinder, Frozen Charlie
This large example of a bathing doll is an impressive 16 inches tall. He has black painted hair with painted features with a pink tint to his head and face. He is a nice heavy guy with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is an inherent firing flaw on the heel of his left foot. This definitely occurred during the firing as the glaze is even over the area. He also has a small spot of firing roughness to the top of the head. I have photographed these details so that you can see them even though ...
$649 USD Offers ConsideredChina (Glazed Porcelain) German “Alice in Wonderland” Shoulder Head by Kestner & Co.
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany:Kestner
This 4 ¼ inch tall china head, circa the 1860s, is a lovely example by the German Kestner Doll firm. She has a hairstyle with a headband adorned with gold metallic paint. She also has very fine painted brushstrokes around the doll’s hairline. The sculpting of the hair has well delineated curls and brushstrokes. The painting of the hair is so fine and well shaded that it almost appears that there are color variations allowing the hair color to appear dark brunette in some areas. Her face is also ...
$99 USD SaleSALE Frozen Charlotte with Blue Bow Ties and Gold Luster Shoes
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Frozen Charlotte
This 4 inch Frozen Charlotte, also called a bathing doll or badkinder, has black painted and molded hair and painted features. She also has blue painted bows at her knees and gold luster shoes. The gold has somewhat worn away from her feet. She is glazed on all parts of her body except for her back from the neck to the hips. She obviously has never had a glaze finish in this area. This young lady’s arms are rather simply molded with not much delineation of the hands. She has no chips or cracks ...
$495 USD SaleSALE German Flat Top China Head Doll with Wonderful Expression
Dolls:Antique:China, German
This 21 inch German flat top china head doll has the most interesting expression. Her very well modeled and painted eyes are glancing to the side and her expression very much reminds me of Bette Davis (for those of you old enough to remember her!). The cloth body appears to be original to the doll. The cotton underclothing consisting of pantaloons, a camisole, and a petticoat fit the doll as if they were made for her. In fact, they are so closely fitted to her body that I did not try to ...
$775 USDFlat Top China Head Doll with Great Expression and Clothing

This 24 inch china shoulderhead doll has a wonderful old cloth body and expressive face with deep modeling particularly around the eyes. She wears an antique cotton print dress and old white cotton underclothing including a camisole, pantaloons, and two petticoats. She has black socks and antique leather shoes. The shoes have been on her so long that they have somewhat molded to her feet. I did not want to damage the shoes, so I did not try to remove them. This doll has no cracks or hairlines. ...

There is one small flake off the black paint at the back of her head. This young miss wears old cotton pantaloons and a petticoat. Her dress, of later vintage but appropriate style, is well ...

This 7 inch china head doll appears to be wearing her original clothing. She has a cloth body with china arms and lower legs with painted flat soled very pointed shoes. The body also appears to be original to her. The dress is made from red cotton and wool with black trim. The back of the dress does have numerous holes but the front is virtually undamaged. The dress fabric, while not in the best of condition, seems to be stable and not deteriorating more. Some of the black silk trim has ...
$550 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Bald Head “Biedermeier” German China Head Doll
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Germany:Porcelain
This 17 inch tall china head doll has a solid dome shoulder head with painted features, delicately molded ears, and a black pointed spot on the top of her head. Her head has no chips or cracks. There is a small inherent indented dot on the center of her chin that appears to have occurred with her original firing. This slight flaw almost looks like a dimple on her chin. This sweet young lady has an old cloth body with leather arms. One of the arms has had a leather patch repair. The body appears ...

Dolls:Antique:China, German:Germany:Porcelain
This 22 inch tall doll, circa the 1850s, is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship of German artisans over 150 years ago. This doll has a glazed porcelain shoulder head with a molded black covered wagon hairstyle and an old cloth body that, I believe, is probably original to her. Her head has no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is one inherent black pit spot on her forehead that is typical of dolls of this period.

$110 USD Offers ConsideredGerman Hertwig & Co. Low Brow Porcelain (China) Head
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany
This 4 ¾ inch tall china head was created, circa the 1880s, by the German firm of Hertwig & Co. This mold is photographed in Mary Krombholz’s book, “Identifying German Chinas,” on page 108. According to Krombholz, “The Low Brow hairstyles differ from the common Low Brow hairdos because they each include a white center part unlike the majority of Low Brows. The shoulder plates are rounded rather than squared at the ends.” The back of the shoulder plate is incised with the number 5. The head has ...
$1,995 USD Offers ConsideredGerman Glazed Porcelain (China) Shoulder head Doll with Rare Green Snood Tassels
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany
I have always admired this particular china head mold but this is the first time in 25 years of collecting that I have ever owned one. Most of the ones I have seen are much smaller than this magnificent example that stands 22 inches tall. Her head is 6 inches tall. The head is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is some slight wear to the paint on the back of the head. Most of the spots that appear in my photos are light reflections. Along with her wonderful hairstyle ...
$695 USD Offers ConsideredPink Tint A.W. Kister German Glazed Porcelain (China) Modified Flat top Doll
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany
This doll, circa the 1860s, has a pressed porcelain shoulder head. The entire doll measures 21 inches and the head is 6 inches tall. I believe this doll retains her original cloth body with leather lower arms and cloth feet with stitched toes. She wears old cotton pantaloons and a crochet trimmed petticoat. Her dress, that also may be original, is a wonderful early red cotton print. The dress has a few small holes but nothing that detracts from its historical beauty. The doll head has no chips, ...
$595 USD Offers ConsideredAdelina Patti Glazed Porcelain (China) Head Doll by Alt, Beck, & Gottschalck
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Germany:Porcelain:Alt, Beck, & Gottschalck
This 10 inch tall doll, circa the 1870s, was created by the German firm of Alt, Beck, & Gottschalck. She is often called an Adelina Patti due to her hairstyle with well painted brushstrokes around the hairline. While I cannot be positively sure, I do believe she is in all original condition with a china shoulder head, cloth body, and wonderfully articulated china lower arms and legs. I love the chubby arms and delicately delineated fingers. Take a look at the lower legs with those magnificent ...
$595 USD Offers ConsideredGreat Early German Glazed Porcelain (China) Trinket Box with Boy and Polichinelle Clown Doll
Dolls:Antique:China, German:Germany:Porcelain
I love this glazed porcelain (china) trinket boxes. I believe this one was made by the firm of Conta & Boehm during the mid to late 1800s. This model was made in various sizes. This particular box is 5 ½ inches in length, 3 ½ inches wide, and 5 ¾ inches high. Most of the time, I find that there is damage to the box but, this one is perfect with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The lid and box are both marked 33 and the base is incised with the numbers 42., 496., and III. The base of the box is ...

Her cloth body is old but is probably not as old as she is. The china lower arms and legs probably date back to the late 19th century while the covered wagon head is circa the 1850s. The ...

This 18 inch tall china head doll, circa the 1860s, is a wonderful example of the German firm of Conte & Boehme. She has the unusual hairstyle common on this company’s dolls as described in Mary Krombholz’s book, “Identifying German Chinas: 1840s-1930s.” Krombholz states, “The hair flares out on each side of the head and is pulled back into hair puffs.

Dolls:Antique:China, German:Porcelain:Germany:Kestner
This 16 inch tall doll is incised only “Made in Germany 10.” She is obviously the early 143 Kestner mold; however, early examples were not incised with the mold number.
